Yep, two shit bag neoliberals running I and an actual Republican.
This is both good for Mamdani and what will be used as an excuse when he wins.
Nope.
Because lots of obese people have healthy bmi's
They're usually the ones blowing badly defending it and haven't had blood work done in a decade. They have no idea how unhealthy they are
It's 2025, if people can't parse an autocorrect error by now, that's on them. Our brains literally fix them as we're reading most of the time.
I don't put anywhere near as much thought into my comments or "message" as people always seem to think though.
Well. That's not changed by anything in your article ...
It's interesting and all, but it's more about how the people they were investigating under pseudonyms were eventually installed over the efforts to get investigate themselves...
Like, that's fucking huge. And definitely implies they were really involved in it, but it's not a smoking gun
Edit:
To be clear the most likely explanation has always been the same as Cheney and 9/11...
They knew it was coming, in general if not specific, and they choose to let it happen because that was what was best for their interests.
That's a billion times more likely than the CIA taking explicit actions to lead to the assassinations of a US president. It takes a lot to make something like this happen, very little to know it's gonna happen and intentionally let it happen.

You'll get better at it, but it works because they load the article first. Then the paywall.
BMI does work very well in diagnostics and statistical models
It does not ...
It barely worked when it was created and doesn't really mean shit now.
It's gives loads of people a false sense of security and then they latch onto it and just keep insisting it's fine even in the face of multiple sources that show the scientific community thinks its shit.
I guess if people needed an example of that, your comment did serve a purpose.
I've known multiple people who lost federal security clearances for not filing their taxes for an extended period because they didn't owe anything.
But as far as I know they've never been fined or had charges pressed.
Very niche concern, but I don't 100% know all the scenarios, so it's best for people to find out for themselves about their own specific situation
To study this, Anderson and her team looked at the most recent self-reported body mass index (BMI) data from 746,250 Canadians who were 18 years or older between 2009 and 2023.
Maybe because BMI was never intended to be an indicator of health and is just a simple and dirty math formula invented by a Belgian astronomer 200 years ago?

BMI is just weight and height, a pound of muscle, a pound of fat, a pound of bone...
Doesn't matter, a pound is a pound.
I failed BMI everytime I got measured in the military, they had to "rope and choke" which is a more time consuming method where waist/neck measurements were used. If I had still failed that, I'd have been given a buoyancy test as well for an even more accurate tests.
But it's hard to call someone obese after you just measured the circumference of their abs...
When used as an average of a population BMI isbetter but it was made based on what weights were considered healthy for a white man 200 years ago, way before protein and weight training. And when the average person was like 5'6.
Lots of clearly healthy white men are labeled obese because of that. And no one else was even involved in coming up with the system, so they've always been getting wrong results.
It's fucking insane we're still using this ancient flawed method when we have so many better ways. Especially since the largest determiner of height back then was access to enough calories when young. Pretty much everyone is getting that now. And reaching their max height which is where BMI has always been the most flawed.
Like, obesity is an undeniable problem. But BMI is the least scientific metric we could be using short of some bullshit like astrology signs. The obesity epidemic too serious to fuck around like this
It's not the first time...
It only took a week or two before that one lady kidnapped her ex's new gf and tried to drive from last ke Florida to Texas for some reason.
Even then, thieves have been doing it as cops for over a decade, exactly like in this article.
I just saw a different article where a guy got arrested for dressing up as ICE and demanding he be let I to a police station so he could salute all the deputies. Or that guy who tried to "citizen arrest" his dead then cut his head off for resisting and claimed self defense.
I'll take a couple stick up thieves wearing a vest over the nutjobs who honestly believe they're authorized to execute anyone who doesn't do what they say.
Bunch of fucking Eric Cartmans runner ng around
which is requiring it for apps
The simple solution is not making everything a fucking app...
It's always hilarious to watch people act like they care about security and privacy but download 27 different apps instead of just using a web interface...
It's like the iPad generation can't figure out a bookmark list
Alcatraz was a prison for criminals
Call this what it is:
Alligator Auschwitz
It's a place for anyone based on immutable charetistics like ethnicity, and it's naive to think that's going to be the fascists only metric moving forward.
If we don't defend them now. They won't be here to defend us when we're the ones they're coming for.
Solidarity beats fascists, that's why they crack down so hard on protests.

Why are people up voting that? It makes zero sense...
